Unfortunately, you have received the remedy by winning the unemployment compensation hearing.
If you received sick leave, then you were paid. If you were terminated after that, then unless you have a discrimination suit for wrongful discharge, all you have is unemployment compensation and from what I read, you did finally receive that. Attempting to commit fraud on a government agency is a crime, so if you have proof that happened, go see the prosecutor.
